Editorial Review: Description: THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE BEAUTIFUL PACK (Includes Beverly Hills 90210: the Complete First Season and Melrose Place: The Complete First Season) * Amazon.com: Beverly Hills, 90210: The Complete First Season Just as Fox's 21 Jump Street injected the cop drama with a dose of hip, Beverly Hills 90210 infused the primetime soap with youthful energy. Like Aaron Spelling's Dynasty, most characters don't lack for disposable income, except for middle-class twins Brandon
Beverly Hills, 90210 ran for 10 years. Though it would move away from issue-oriented episodes in the seasons to come--in the first, it takes on shoplifting, cheating, and date rape--without it, there would be no O.C., no Veronica Mars, etc. Just like the 1980s films of John Hughes (The Breakfast Club), it set the standard to which all others must be compared. As nice as it is to have the show on DVD, it should be noted that not all musical selections made the cut, i.e. "Music has been changed for this home entertainment version." Otherwise, this guilty pleasure remains as pleasurable as ever. --Kathleen C. Fennessy Melrose Place: The Complete First Season It began as a spin-off of Beverly Hills, 90210, but this summer replacement quickly established its own unique identity. The connection is creator Darren Star and the character of Jake (Grant Show), who had a fling with Kelly (Jennie Garth) on 90210. In the pilot, she stops by 4616 Melrose to pay a visit (and returns for two more episodes). Jake's neighbors comprise of Alison (Courtney Thorne-Smith), Rhonda (Vanessa Williams), Sandy (Amy Locane), Matt (Doug Savant), and married couple Michael (Thomas Calabro) and Jane (Josie Bissett). When Alison's roommate runs out on her, she takes in Billy (Andrew Shue) to cover the rent. Just as 90210 had the Peach Pit, the twentysomethings of Melrose gather at Shooters, where aspiring actress Sandy waits tables. Her roommate Rhonda teaches aerobics. Other professions include mechanic (Jake), receptionist (Alison), social worker (Matt), doctor (Michael), designer (Jane), and writer (Billy). Midway through the season, photographer Jo (Daphne Zuniga) and ad exec Amanda ("special guest" Heather Locklear) arrive to shake things up. What had been a program about work and life issues takes a darker turn as Michael gives in to temptation and Amanda sets out to ruin Alison's career--and her relationship with Billy. Other troublemakers are waiting in the wings, like Michael's colleague Kimberly (Marcia Cross) and Jane's sister Sydney (Laura Leighton). Both return to stay in the second year. Melrose Place ran for seven increasingly soapy seasons and spawned the short-lived Models, Inc.. Afterwards, Thorne-Smith moved on to Ally McBeal and According to Jim, while Savant and Cross would eventually segue to Desperate Housewives. Other actors had a shorter stay at the infamous West Hollywood apartment complex-- notably, Locane, who makes her exit in the 13th episode ("Dreams Come True") and Williams, who makes hers in the 32nd (two-part season finale "Suspicious Minds"). --Kathleen C. Fennessy Average Rating:
 Rating: - Put "Models" on DVD, next!!"Melrose" & "90210" were the best shows of the '90s! I was in love with both shows. If you're not too familar with either series, "90210" starts out much better (although, after season 4, it's all downhill) because during the first season the stories can capture the viewer quickly. "Melrose" starts out much slower and is nowhere near as outrageous as later seasons. (I would say that "Melrose" peaked in either season 3 or season 4.) Maybe one of these days they'll put "Models" on ... Read More Rating: - LOVED ITI'm so glad they finally put these two shows on DVD. Can't wait for season 2 for these shows. Rating: - love they way they package itI just love that they package these together these are two of the greatest shows so glad to have them on dvd Rating: - 90210/Melsore - 1st SesonThis is an awesome video for those who used to gather on Wednesday nights to watch these two series back to back. So great to see future stars in cameo rolls. Matthew Perry as a high school teenager. Get out the popcorn and settle in for a great weekend of fun. Rating: - 90210I'm so glad 90210 finally came to dvd. Can't wait for the next seasons!! Browse for similar items by category:
